The bank 1 sensor is accessed from the top of the engine reaching over the rear, it requires a long extension and a 7/8" crowfoot or sensor socket. The bank 2 in front, is accessed from below after the lower shield is removed. The front of the frame may be lowered a bit for more access.

Spray it with some penetrant, and try it when it is warm. If it has been overtightened, the threads may have stretched. You may need a thread chaser(14mm spark plug tap) to clean the threads after removal.

I pulled code p135 on my scanner and the result is sensor 1 bank 1, this is the Co2 sensor at the back of the engine. ( Northstar V8 )
Can I not get the sensor out ! The thing is laughing at my attempts, has anyone found a trick to removing the faulty part ( and yes I did have the engine hot and burned my hands too ! )

Many thanks

Alan

If you have tried it hot, and cold, and it still won't loosen, there is not much choice but to remove the manifold. What tools are you using? It is a 7/8" hex, and a crowfoot, or sensor socket is advised. If you are not slipping around it, and you are committed to get it out, then give it all you got. I have even adapted up to 1/2" drive to break them loose. If it pulls some threads, you can use a standard spark plug thread chaser to clean the hole up.

Bank 1 is located on the side of the car engine that the #1 cylinder is on car right after the exhaust manifold before the catalytic converter. Simply unhook the wires and then simply unbolt the sensor.

See the diagram below for which cylinder is #1

The P0133 code indicates a slow response from the oxygen sensor (Bank 1 Sensor 1) in your 1996 Cadillac DeVille. This sensor is located in the exhaust system of your vehicle.

In the case of the 1996 Cadillac DeVille, Bank 1 refers to the side of the engine where Cylinder 1 is located. Sensor 1 refers to the oxygen sensor located before the catalytic converter in the exhaust stream.

To locate the Bank 1 Sensor 1 oxygen sensor in your Cadillac DeVille, you'll need to look underneath the vehicle, specifically on the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe near the engine. The sensor is usually mounted in the exhaust system, with a wiring harness connected to it.

It's important to note that the specific location may vary slightly depending on the exact model and engine configuration of your DeVille. Consulting the vehicle's service manual or referring to online resources with detailed diagrams can provide you with more precise instructions for locating and replacing the oxygen sensor.

No connection to the issue. It is a control code for the heater in the o2 sensor only. Most likely a bad sensor and would have to be replaced.

It is on the rear exhaust manifold

Replacing oxygen senser, after market sensor has to be spliced to old sensor plug. Wires on old plug has 2 brown, 1 tan 1 purple wire. New sensor has 2 white, 1 black, 1 grey wire. My question is what wires should be spliced together?

Hi there,

with out knowing what brand of O2 sensor you have, theres no way of knowing what is what, even with that info I may be hard to track down the wire code. Is there anything on the package re instructions.

The car is driven very little, as the mileage will indicate. A local parts house read the "service engine soon" light problem and the #2 O2 sensor was what was indicated.
